21. Excuse me Coast, you are painting with a rather large brush
when you state "Upper Middle Class" educated types -- the ones who are not sheeple and who ask questions".

I am educated through university (did not finish due to lack of $$ and illness) and by educating myself at the library. I am quite poor ( my only extravagance is high-speed) and I have questioned since I was in Sunday school in the 1960's.

There are many upper middle class that voted for and continue to stand behind their "fearless leader" the Lunatic. They are mindless sheeple though they are "educated". What questions are they asking?

Being educated does not automatically qualify someone as thinking! I knew plenty of people at school that had no clue as to real life.

That brush can be applied across the board, it is not fair to label those that are poor and did not attend college as "sheeple that don't ask questions".

Some of the most "educated" people I know are assholes and idiots with money that never have a thought in their head other than how to obtain more. Their "news" and political "beliefs" are fed to them through FOX-faux tv. While some of the "uneducated" and "unthinking" sheeple you refer to that I know are the most brilliant people you would ever want to meet and made rather large fortunes, including my father.

Please don't perpetuate the myth that poor = stupid, it is totally untrue.

Thank you!
